Interestingly I find this personally to be almost completely untrue. In particular. When I am exercising I'm generally less likely to be bored and sitting around snacking and eating. Running, paddling, hiking, biking especially with friends take up a lot of time. Recently I haven't been excercising and so am sitting around (and yes, eating a lot more). After exercising my appetite is different. I'm hungry in a different way (I tend to eat a bit healthier etc). So after a lot of exercise I don't want the bag of Doritos or highly processed junk food. Being in shape helps tremendously with things like mobility. Even basic core strength. I've seen folks get VERY sedentary and then start eating a lot more because of mobility issues. I'm convinced in part this is because when you have mobility issues you don't have as many other things to do with your time. I have worked outside in less developed countries for a few months at a time (ie, no desk work). I ate a relatively poor diet (lots of carbs etc) but boy was I in GREAT shape. The truth is, if you spend the day outside working with your body you WILL be fit. Again, you often don't snack as much as well, it's three meals and then if you are working there isn't usually much food that's easy to snack on.
